F1 driver Max Verstappen makes Nürburgring debut in endurance racing

NÜRBURG, Germany (AP) — Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen made his debut at the Nürburgring Endurance Series on Saturday by finishing seventh in a field of 19 starters. Verstappen used a gap in the F1 calendar after winning the Italian Grand Prix last weekend to dabble in endurance sportscar racing by completing the four-hour race in a Porsche Cayman GT4. Verstappen said the Nürburgring Nordschleife topped the list of tracks he wanted to race on because of its length, layout and history.
